Opportunities to Serve Those in Need |
Clemson Community Care will resume coming to Holy Trinity to gather donations beginning this Monday! Please bring a canned or packaged item with you to donate on Sunday. CCC needs several food items to restock their pantry: canned fruit, mixed vegetables, powdered milk, flour, pasta, grits, juice, mixed beans, tomato sauce, toiletries, crackers, jello, cereal and fresh produce. If anyone has an abundance of veggies in their gardens, please bring them. Collection baskets will be located in the chapel and in the Narthex.
Safe Harbor domestic violence shelters are set up as community living environments and are not structured for social distancing and quarantining recommendations. Therefore, Safe Harbor has had to temporarily move their shelter residents into hotel stays. While their operations are disrupted in this way, Safe Harbor needs help with providing dinner to clients in the form of restaurant deliveries. If you would like to contribute by ordering a meal or donating toward the Meal Train fund, it would be a tremendous blessing. A meal for all shelter/hotel residents should cost about $200/night. You can donate to their meal train at https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/rww5g2. Thank you!
Partners in Health Zanmi Lasante (PIH’s sister organization in Haiti) is currently responding to requests for assistance from the Haitian Ministry of Health.

Please, donate now to help Zanmi Lasante save lives >>

In June 2020, Bishop Andrew Waldo announced his intent to retire at the end of 2021 and called for the election of a new bishop. Last week after a several-month process, a nominating committee made up of clergy and laity from across our diocese presented their slate of five nominees to stand for election:
- The Rev. Furman Buchanan, Greenville, SC
- The Rev. Seth Donald, Lake Charles, LA
- The Rev. Lonnie Lacy, Tifton, GA
- The Rev. Daniel Richards, Paradise Valley, AZ
- The Rev. Jemonde Taylor, Raleigh, NC
You can visit edusc.org/nominees to hear the candidates in their own words and read more about the gifts they bring for our consideration. The electing convention will be held September 24 in Columbia. Please keep our clergy and lay delegates in your prayers as they consider who the Holy Spirit is calling to be our next bishop. Our diocesan representatives to the convention are: Kirby Colson, Beth Kunkel, Kevin Hughes and Eric Naeseth.
